This article suggests that the real enemy of America is not called the Chinese Communist Party, or the Russian Menace, or the Muslim Invasion. Who is, then?
There are two irrefutable and intertwined realities that the citizens of any constitutional republic must recognize and understand. First, any group or entity that espouses ever greater power for the central government, socialist-centric economic policies, and continual erosion of individual freedom is an existential threat to that nation as founded.
Second, the leaders of these factions and their disciples will lie incessantly, and under no circumstances will they alter their policies or tactics, as they can never be wrong in their pursuit of unbridled political power. They must be soundly defeated at the ballot box, or civil strife will inevitably ensue.
Steve McCann lays out the most egregious scenario in recent memory where the Powers That Be did just that. Here it is:
Nothing better defines this mindset of infallibility, arrogance, and pathological lying to achieve political power than the most malicious exploitation of the citizenry in American history: The deliberate manipulation and mismanagement of the Chinese Coronavirus “pandemic.”
Beginning in March 2020, the ruling class/Democrat party and their accomplices in the medical establishment knowingly regurgitated innumerable falsehoods and were responsible for a variety of catastrophic actions that caused not only massive economic and societal dislocation but also countless deaths. The Democrats still have not acknowledged the errors that they made and, of course, will not admit that those errors were compounded by abject refusals to change course.
I have a simple take on all this. As time passes and memory fades, we run the danger of forgetting not just the consequences of this bastardy, but the suffocating effect of what was essentially mass house arrest, as well as the fear of shortages — from frigging toilet paper to essential drugs like insulin — and the massive overreach of the police state to enforce all those restrictions on our liberty.
And just remember that the enforcement of the restrictions was selectively enforced: churches were closed, but the Antifa/BLM riots went ahead without a strong response from the police.
Read the whole article above, be reminded, remain angry, and let’s not let it happen again — ever.
RE: “…the ruling class/Democrat party and their accomplices in the medical establishment…”
Lets not forget that Trump was all gung ho for shutdowns for quite a while.
Pretty much everyone in government was, because they believed the doom-mongering lies of the medical establishment.
Hell, even I was supportive in the beginning because, let’s face it, we truly didn’t know what Covid was and how serious it could get.
In retrospect, we got off lightly and the good part is that we discovered the extent of the fabrications and power-seeking. Don’t think they’ll get away with it again.
We had a plan for what to do in case of Pandemic and we didn’t follow it. Anyone who could do the math knew that shutdowns would accomplish nothing. I do not give Trump a pass. He is responsible for his staff.
The worst of those “lies” was when they changed the metric from ” people who died FROM Covid ” to the count of “people who died WITH Covid”. a distinction lost on most people but it allowed them to include people in the count who tested positive ( useing the questionably accurate testing procedure ) but died in an auto accidents, drug overdose, or from heart failure.
The doom mongers scared people so bad that I still see people here in the Northeast wearing masks inside their climate controlled HEPA Filter Cars.
…….. and the media is still constantly trying to reignite the panic,
You can remember all you want, but unless those involved are actually punished, nothing changes. Trump has done a lot in the past 9 months, but I have serious doubts we’ll see any real justice on this front.
Fauci needs to be put in jail for the rest of his life, his fortunes seized and his legacy forever tarnished. Even that won’t be enough, the bastard’s old enough that life imprisonment isn’t really that much of a punishment anymore, but at least it’ll be a sign to those that would love to follow in his footsteps.
After Fauci, there’s thousands more to take care of. And it’ll never happen. And the next time something like that happens, remember that roughly 50% of the population is still willing to follow orders.
Fauci is scum, but he did not do one fracking thing without the authority of the President. Put the blame where it belongs.
You mean Biden? Or Trump? Either way, Fauci had a big hand in what happened and so did a lot of people under him. I’m all for going after the “Big Guy”, but also for all the little guys under him who sold out their responsibilities for their leftist ideology. Scorched earth is a pretty good methodology for dealing with commies.
Yep, as Advisor, Fauci tells the big guy the options:
1. Do Nothing, everyone dies.
2. Quarantine the elderly and seriously ill
3. Shut down the Whole Freakin’ Economy before we all DIE!
Knowing what (little) I do about communicable diseases developed for Gain of Function, I might have chosen option three like Trump and the Brainless One’s handlers.

A reckoning is morally imperative.
And remember, the whole thing is about creating an asymmetric operating environment: “Restrictive for thee, permissive for me.”
